What is this witchcraft? (alien.top)

Almost 10 years ago I purchased a Synology NAS for local storage and backups. I was really happy with the ease of use and their support is top notch. I got it set up and didn’t think much about it. Fast forward and a deal on a used server comes around and all the sudden I have a lot to learn. Proxmox, TrueNas, Nginx Proxy Manager… a whole new world I had somehow never even thought about. The concept of virtual machines blew my mind. Spin up a machine, mess it up, tear it down, repeat. Kids wanted to host a Minecraft server. No problem, pterodactyl. But wait, pterodactyl wants to be installed in a machine that doesn’t have any other software installed. No problem, I got one of those! This is magic and I’m loving it. I mostly lurk around here but thanks to everyone who posts because this place is a great source of knowledge and sarcasm and I appreciate both!

I need to be better about my docker deployment. Services running on 3 devices. Some docker, some docker-compose, and some were setup in portainer. It’s a bit of a mess tbh. Portainer agent sounds promising. I’ll check it out. Thanks!

yacht.sh

Whats different compared to cosmos.io , runtipi, casaOS, and others?

Yacht is a docker manager like portainer is, not a hosting platform. It just manages your containers same as portainer.
